Me also. @GregroxMun knows how to fix this. 

You have to make sure that the PQS fade in/out distances and the ScaledSpace fade in/out distances completely overlap. Look at the Little Green Men from Mars config for an example.

This is how it looks (Directly copied from the config):

            fadeStart = 110000
            fadeEnd = 140000

			pqsFadeStart = 130000
			pqsFadeEnd = 170000

I've tried making that resemble Earth a bit more, and then I tried making it look closer to Mars, but neither fixed the issue.

Try removing the fadeStart/End and pqsFadeStart/End both from thew config, so it just uses the values from the template world.

That has fixed the issue. Thank you!

So storms are coming (Right?). what is being used to add them? because here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/114034-104-acp-v7-atmo-auroras-stratuscirrus-clouds-lightning-dust-storms-bioluminescence/#comment-2023209 added storms to Duna.

--NEVER-MIND--

-EDIT-

Better atmospheres?

Any ETA on when we might see this get posted to SpaceDock, now that the previous hosting site has gone away?

[Cornholio]

I didn't see this answered anywhere in the thread:

 

Does anyone know the required ballpark delta-v to get from the surface back to low orbit?

[drtedastro]

Oh no.....  The great cornholio........

 

T.P. for my bunghole......

Argh...

 

I will see if i can find the dV info for you.

Cheers.

It's been ages since the last time @CoriW has updated this mod, you may consider it dead. I'm willing to provide a spacedock download, but I cannot edit this thread, so it will have to be in a comment.

[SneakyRobot]

I am also interested in getting this.

If you repost it I would gladly do my best to throw in unnoficial updates unless @CoriW wants to return to us...

I've already contacted @CoriW, and I have taken over maintenance of Arkas until @CoriW returns.

Allright. Glad to see an experianced Kopernicus creator take over (however temporarily)!

Think you'll have a chance to update it for 1.0.5, or will you just wait for 1.1?  I may or may not be starting Chapterhouse: Dune and super duper excited about this mod.

I've just finished my overhaul, if everything works this is what it will feature:

- Stable, working Arkas with a rewritten config that is specifically designed to work with 1.0.5

- Full .DDS conversion and full OnDemandLoading support

- Custom surface textures

- Custom terrain scatter

I'm currently loading up KSP to see if everything works as intended. If so, it's going straight to SpaceDock.

And I'm already working on it. (Temporarily indeed!)

[The White Guardian]

I have created a new thread (one that I can edit for link updating purposes), a 'placeholder' thread for use until @CoriW returns.

Since this mod is supported by GN but the download link is no longer available, I was asked by different players to send them the old Arkas archive.

Given that the mod is released under the license:

I took the liberty of fixing compatibility with 1.0.5 and provide a temporary download link

 

I will not give any kind of support for this, and I will remove the link as soon as @The White Guardian releases his version of the mod.

The only changes I made were those needed to make the planet load correctly in KSP 1.0.5 using Kopernicus 0.6.3

Arkas is back from the dead, go grab it on SpaceDock!

Cool!

As soon as I get home I'll check out if everything works properly with GN and take down the version of arkas I redistribute

Not everything works as intended yet, I'm currently orbiting Arkas and fixing all I can see. Mostly a new terrain scatter type I tried out, and some artifacts with E.V.E that need fixing, nothing too serious. Should get most of it fixed this weekend.

It's already playable though, and I didn't want to make anyone wait even longer.

Yeah, I don't really care about aesthetics enhancements, as long as the system loads fine and doesn't mess up GN I'm good

No worries, Arkas'll still be a fine member of the Galactic Neighborhood. Not much has changed, only visual improvements. I'll keep GN compatibility in mind though when designing mods for Arkas. (procedural Arkas for example for low-end computers)

message goofed up

 

anyways, I'll remove my link since yours works  cheers

Yay I love this planet. Once Kerbal Foundries is working with 1.1 I'll be able to 'screw drive' through the sand again. 

I'm in the process of making artifacts and discoverable anomalies for other planets as part of my Top Secret! mod. Currently, stock, OPM, and Arkas are on my list. PM me if you want anything specific.
